The Advocate asked the White House for a specific clarification on the President's position on the anti-gay ballot initiatives in Maine and Washington. Here's the reply:
“The President has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples, and as he said at the Human Rights Campaign dinner, he believes ‘strongly in stopping laws designed to take rights away.’ Also at the dinner, he said he supports, ‘ensuring that committed gay couples have the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple in this country.’"
Remember that the haters used Obama's opposition to marriage equality to their advantage during the Prop. 8 campaign in California.
It would have been nice if he had actually used the words Maine and Washington.
